Combine 2 Audio Sources
Hello, I run a videography business and wonder if its possible to
combine 2 different audio sources in one ear piece. I have a 1-ear piece (over ear) with an in-line mic for my radios that I use to communicate with the other videographers. I would also like to monitor camera audio in that same 1-unit ear piece. Ideally, when someone would talk on the intercom radio, the earpiece would switch to that audio otherwise default to the camera audio from the headset jack. Do you know if there is a device I could buy to do that? Or what it might be called? My searches on the Internet have come up blank. Thanks -Brad Bonczkiewicz |

Thanks -Brad Bonczkiewicz its called a mixer (or in england a "desk") mixers are normally actave (amplified) but can be passave. a low cost DJ type mixer with "talkover" feature should meet your needs... unless you need all wireless. then a small VOX circuit (voice activated switch) would be needed. |

Thanks What you seek is called an interruptable foldback (IFB). -- ================================================== ====================== Michael Kesti | "And like, one and one don't make | two, one and one make one." mrkesti at hotmail dot com | - The Who, Bargain |

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm glad to now know the term "interruptible foldback"! You are right that the IFB is what I am looking for, but on a less-expensive scale working with our Motorola radios. A mixer would work as well, but be too cumbersome to carry while working with a camcorder. I guess I'm hoping for something that would look/act similar to a "Y" adapter but have the necessary circuitry to automatically cut to intercom audio when it detects a signal otherwise staying on camera audio for my monitoring. Any thoughts? Thanks again The RDL unit is about the size of a thick business card. Mount it in or on a box with XLR jacks. Include a battery holder if you want it to be portable. The whole thing could go in your shirt pocket. http://www.rdlnet.com/product.php?page=24 //Walt // //no, I don't work for RDL. |
